Leaving Malawi Tomorrow

Hello everyone,

We spent the morning at a crisis nursery. They take in babys that either are dumped or that are orphaned as the mother dies in child birth. They were so adorable. Some of the baby's were HIV positive. It was heart breaking to see these beautiful babies and know that some of them won't reach adulthood.

Everyone enjoyed playing with, feeding some and holding the little ones. My God bless these little ones.

We have been packing and cleaning this afternoon. We will finish cleaning in the morning and leave for the airport at Noon.

Here is a photo album of our trip.

Please pray for our time of reflection, prayer and listening to God in South Africa. This will be a critical time for our team as we spend time individually and corporately reflecting on our time and seeking what God has been saying to us.

Pray for Madeline, Dudley and Me as we lead them through processing their experiences and the ways God has been speaking to us.

I don't know if I will be able to up date this while in South Africa so if I don't no worries. We will arrive in Chicago at 1:55pm on July 31st.


God bless you and thank you for your prayers!!!!
His Servant,
Chris
